I didn't care for Rosemary's passivity when I watched it as a teenager. probably worth a rewatch.

She's not -- she's a step ahead of the enemies who consistently underrate her. She just fails to make the obvious connection.

Yeah it's a really impressive piece of work, that film, a really sharp portrait of a women being gaslit and how few options she has to fight it. The fact that this insight didn't stop the director from being the monster he was is horrible, ofc, but the film's great.
― Daniel_Rf, Monday, 25 October 2021 13:36 (two years ago) link
Polanski showed even more of that contradictory insight with Repulsion.

99. LA JETÉE (Chris Marker, Chris 1962, France) [623.33 points; 9 votes; 1 first-place vote; Morbs silver]S&S: 61 | TSPDT: 117 | BOXD: DNP
MORBS SEZ: "The best time-travel film is still easily La Jetee … really, La Jetee, Sherlock Jr, Wavelength, Flaming Creatures, Rose Hobart, Duck Amuck are among my fave films of all time, period."Only last week I emailed Chris suggesting he tell people he was suffering from a case of Morgellons picked up from Joni Mitchell, and had coloured threads in the shape of cats' whiskers growing on his upper lip. Unfortunately, Chris stopped responding to any of my communications in 1962. I think the success of La Jetée went to his head a bit, to be honest.― Grampsy, Monday, July 30, 2012 9:36 PM

i've come to think there's something quite Ozu-esque about Totoro - its domesticity, its understated drama, the relationship between the countryside and the city and the movement between them

Everything that people say there is to like about Totoro I indeed like in virtually all of Miyazaki's other films ... just not in Totoro for some reason.

It's like if you took Seven Samurai and took out everything interesting. But maybe left in Mifune. And gave him lice.

Not a huge Kurosawa fan, my favourite is High and Low, with Mifune at a lower key of intensity.
― Halfway there but for you, Monday, 25 October 2021 15:23 (two years ago) link
Somehow have never seen this, though have seen three other Kurosawa films. La Jette & Rosemary's Baby were in my honorable mentions, like Totoro but, yes, not going to talk about the fan theories, which are imo.a bit more than just fan theories.
